Une licence permissive, approuvée par l’OSI et la FSF, compatible GPL, qui autorise expressément l’attribution au moyen d’une simple mention de droit d’auteur et d’un lien court plutôt que du texte intégral de la licence. Inclut une concession expresse de droits de brevet. Les œuvres sous licence et leurs modifications peuvent être distribuées sous des conditions différentes et sans code source, et la concession de brevet peut aussi, en option, être étendue aux œuvres plus larges afin de permettre son usage comme accord de licence de contributeur.
